Hapten — Sandwich Labeling of Cell-Surface Antigens

  • Chapter
Contemporary Topics in Molecular Immunology

Abstract

The indirect antibody technique for amplified detection of antigens (Coons, 1956) has a wide and expanding range of applications. In general, this well-established method employs second-layer antiimmunoglobulin, coupled to an appropriate detector, to label first-layer antibody specific for a particular antigen. The last few years have seen the introduction of hapten-sandwich labeling procedures (Lamm et al,1972; Wofsy et al.,1974; Cammisuli and Wofsy, 1976) that circumvent the requirement of the conventional sandwich technique for antibodies from one species directed against the immunoglobulins of another. Hapten-sandwich labeling uses instead detector-coupled antihapten antibodies to amplify first-layer antibodies to which the hapten has been covalently attached.
